I've had a couple glasses of wine and a few margaritas (only 1at a time). Have had a few sips of beer, but just not worth it. I'll drink a couple glasses of wine a week. I know it's empty calories, but I enjoy it. We live near some Amazing wineries and their just too good.

I have had flavored vodka and a small amount of diet soda, I find the soda becomes flat once you add ice. I usually can have a couple and it takes me awhile to finish a cocktail which is good because the alcohol does affect me quicker. Its in a social setting anyway, not like I'm doing shots!!! I like vanilla vodka and diet a&w root beer. I find I can no longer stomach beer, the bubbles make my tummy feel weird and I used to love specialty beer. Oh well, I am going to a winery this weekend for a girls getaway and plan on tasting some wines.

I went to a DMB concert this summer and was concerend how the booze would hit me so I played it safe and made Jello shots. I had one, everything was fine, had two, things were even better, had the third and I was right as rain. They wore off in about 30 minutes and I did it all over again. Thats the only alcohol Ive had in over a year though.

Ive had wine, margaritas & even a few beers although they do give a little heart burn. I get buzzed pretty fast. Also, it tends to make me very sleepy.

I can pretty much drink what I want, but I limit it to ONE (I get tipsy a LOT quicker now!!). My favorite is organic apple cider and good wine. :-)

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.
